The fabric on this dress is lovely, very soft and pretty. I love the beading as well. I ordered the small in this dress and it was still a little large on top. I had to wear a cardigan over it because the arm holes were a bit too low. I wore tights under this dress and thank goodness, because it was very windy and the skirt has a tendency to fly above your waist with strong gusts of wind. The skirt was a bit short for me, but it was no big deal with tights on. I also wore brown boots to further dress down the outfit. Overall a nice dress but slightly on the bigger side.

This dress looks beautiful but when I received it I couldn't even wear it. The matieral was nice. The buttons did not close all the way so you need to wear a tank or something under it. I ordered a L and it was huge. I tried on the M but it was so short it should've been a tshirt. The tie wasn't long enough to make a cute bow and the crimping on the bottom was just the worst part.

Definitely go with a size smaller, I'm usually a large on this website and I went with the large, and it was swimming on me. Beautiful beadwork, however I wish I would have went with a size smaller.

make sure you have a belt as a backup. my order did not come with a belt and it was a disaster! without a belt the dress is unwearable. with the belt the dress was okay. the dress is a good for an event with an ambiguous dress code, as it is not too dressy but still has enough detail to be elegant.

I got so many compliments on this dress! The fit was a little large, I was really happy to have ordered a size smaller than I normally wear. It was a little short, but I paired it with some cute leggings and I felt a lot more comfortable about the length. Overall a really cute dress that I would definitely order again!

I disagree that you can't wear this as a slender woman. In fact, this was one of my best RTR rentals. It is a more blousey style but if you tie the belt tightly at your true waist it looks great. My only word of caution is that the fabric is so light that it has a tendency to blow around. I'd recommend wearing a slip or something you don't mind showing underneath.

I loved this dress, but I am really glad I rented a smaller size than usual. I usually wear an 8 and I ordered the large and the medium dresses. I ended up wearing the medium and it was still a little big, but the small would have been too short. I definitely agree with the other reviews that any gust of wind will send the dress flying up! The dress was very flattering and everyone loved it.

This is an excellent dress! I wore it with brown heels and really big hair. I would absolutely recommend it. Only thing - if you wear it during the day - it is slightly see through if the sun hits at the right angle.

This dress is beautiful! All the reviews said that it ran large, I was nervous that it was only available in one size but I trusted them. The XS was even too big, I am 5'2 about 115. I would recommend getting this dress, it really is beautiful, go at least 1 size smaller!

I really loved this dress. I wore it to a wedding and it was completely appropriate for a day ceremony into night reception. It was stylish and chic, paired with a nude heel and gold jewelry. But as everyone says - it blows up - and the ceremony was near a harbor so it was touch an dgo for me for a bit. Plan accordingly! I didn't notice it being too big - and if I had been a bit taller and thinner I could have totally rocked this without the belt - but you work with what you got. Overall a great RTR experience!

I ended up not wearing this...but it was cute and still wanted to wear it out. It was a lot bigger than expected and I got an xs. The beads are kinda worn and silver. The fabric is nice and has a shiny appearance.

I loved this dress because you just slip it on and you're ready to go. The embellishment is so pretty and doesnt require a lot of jewelry since it makes a statement already. It's perfect for a casual occasion where you still want to wear a dress.

I really liked the dress and it looked just like the picture. Runs true to size. I'm a size 8 and the medium fit great. I think the dress is a little on the short side for tall girls. I'm 5"10 and there wasn't much room for error, if you know what I mean.
Overall really nice and I got lots of compliments at my husband's XMas party.

I wore this dress to my sister's rehearsal dinner. Everyone loved the detailed beading! It did run large, but it comes with a belt/shash that when tied at the waist makes you look smaller. The dress was a bit shorter than I expected, but I was very pleased with it overall.

this dress is super cute! i wasn't sure on what size to get so i got a medium and then a large just in case. the medium fit but a small probably would have been better, the dress runs a little bit large. gold earrings look great with it :)

I ordered this dress for a baseball game. After reading other reviews, I was worried about ordering a medium and large, but I'm glad I did. Even though the medium was too big, it was really short (unwearable). The large was long enough to leave the house in, but it looked like I was wearing a cupcake outfit. I didn't end up wearing it at all.
This dress might be better on someone with a straighter figure.

This style is a bit more casual than I usually make an effort to rent but it served its purpose for the day which was comfortable and cute. Even though the fit was a little large, I did have problems with the style of the buttons coming open in the front.

RTR is super easy to use, the stylists are really helpful if I have any questions and I love getting a new dress to wear for every occasion.
Size worn: XS

Rented for: Wedding
Really loved the light fabric and the beading! Got lots of compliments on the dress and everyone loved the idea of renting dresses. The top was definitely a little baggier than I was expecting, so I'm glad I got a backup size. The only flaw was that it ended up being a lot shorter than I was expecting, especially with heels on. Some of my girlfriends said it looked slightly ice skater-ish, but still looked great. Overall, the dress was perfect for a summer wedding, just had to be careful spinning around the dance floor.

When everyone asked where I got my dress from! Or maybe when my boyfriend's mother said I had legs for days. It was all pretty fantastic.
Size worn: S
Overall fit: Large
Rented for: Wedding
I loved this dress but there were a few short-comings:
- If you're tall, this dress comes up really high (as with most dresses). It does catch the wind and will blow up. It happened to me about twice.
- The beading in the picture on the model is clearly gold. When I received the dress, the beads were faded/discolored so much that the beading looked silver. It was still nice, but not what I expected.
- The dress runs larger than I thought. I was SO thankful for the belt.
Otherwise, the dress was great! I received compliments all night and was very happy with it otherwise.

I rented this originally as a backup for my cousins wedding but ended up wearing my original pick the Nanette Lepore Pink Lollipop Dress. So instead I wore this to my friends graduation party and everyone loved the dress. I would def. suggest wearing some shorts under if you have a chance of being caught in any sort of breeze which is luckily what I did. This dress if perfect for any occasion. The embellishment is beautiful and the way in which it flows is just great. Wore with the mystery bling Champagne Kate Chandelier Earrings. Everyone was asking wear I got the dress and told them about RTR.

This fit nicely, I was comfortable all day. The sequence on the front wasn't really as gold, as I expected, having rubbed off with the cleaning, I guess. It was a little on the short side, but that might be more of a personal preference. I definitely got some compliments on this little number!

I wore this for a friend's bachelorette party. The lightweight silk fabric was pretty and comfortable. Loved the silver beadwork and pleated skirt with adjustable sash. The hem is pretty short, but not scandalously so. I liked this dress so much that I keep trying to find it elsewhere so I can purchase it. No luck so far, but I'll be keeping an eye on the RTR sales!

I rented two dresses and decided not to wear this one. I really liked it, but the other one was more of a party dress. This would be great for a shower or day-time event, but if you're tall like me, it might be too short depending on the event.
